Playlists
If playlists are the ultimate currency of coolness, we're your virtual treasury.
The songs that built me.
In this picture, I see blinding spotlights. I imagine the applause I always seem to forget from being caught up in the last three minutes. I feel my racing heart, no longer needing to stay in a calm and collected beat to the song I'd been singing. I see someone who's favourite place to perform isn't before the eyes of hundreds of people (no matter how much she loves it)... but in the seat of her parents car where her love and passion for music began.

Ever wondered where that favourite CD of yours disappeared too? Surely it’s not just me, that misses the era of buying a shiny, compact disc in which I could see my reflection at the back? I remember the first CD I ever bought. It was Destiny’s Child self- titled debut. It went straight into my yellow Alba all in one, CD player. There was a 2 tape-deck, with a CD insert that sat right at the top. I loved it.
Music and Memories
Journey is a great American rock band with one of the most iconic songs ever written, "Don't Stop Believin'." Its message is simple: Believe in your dreams and believe in yourself. It's some of the greatest, yet simplest advice I could offer to anyone. Although this song is not tied to a specific memory or time period along my journey (no pun intended), it represents a simple overarching theme that has held true throughout my life. Shockingly only reaching #9 on the billboard charts in 1981, here is "Don't Stop Believin'."

Everyone wants to listen to music they can relate to; that we can listen to it and make it ours. This is especially so when it comes to songs about identity and love.

As a writer, I find setting the scene is what truly brings your story to life and immerses readers. It needs to feel real; the reader should be able to see the scene that you're seeing in your head. Going places that relate to what I'm writing about and documenting my surroundings helps immensely to create locations that my characters are experiencing but making time to write some days can be difficult, much less making time to travel. Of course, having those picture and notes to look back on aid in keeping a location fresh in my mind, but locations also trigger feelings. Listening to the right music that fits into what your writing makes you feel regardless of where you are or what time it is.

Hi all! Another week, another Tunes to Get Grooving To! Last week I brought you five newly released songs that I knew you would absolutely love. This week I’m bringing you another five tunes that you’ll definitely groove to, but you might recognise them. Over the last year there is one social media app that keeps growing and growing… TikTok. Now although I don’t use the app, I end up seeing videos all over YouTube and Instagram and there are some amazing songs on there that I hear over and over again but don’t actually know! So, if you’re like me and you’re wondering what all these songs are then I’ve don’t the research for you. Now, let’s get into it.

Heh, I wonder what The Glorious Sons would say if they saw my eerie spin on their album cover "Young Beauties and Fools". A lone woman riding a one-eyed old spook in the twilight - his empty eye socket visible to the observant viewer. Making this little twist made me feel like I was back in high school art class, completing an expression piece.
